LeBron James is now at a point in the distance from a historical stage which will probably never be equaled in the history of the NBA.
James is about 50,000 career points – between the regular season and the playoffs – after marking 17 Sunday evening in the Los Angeles Lakers 108-102 victory against the Los Angeles Clippers. The next Lakers match will take place at home Tuesday against New Orleans Pélicans at 10:30 p.m. he.
Not getting the 18 points he needed to reach 50,000 was a little surprised, given that the Lakers were without Austin Reaves (with a calf injury), Rui Hachimura and Jordan Goodwin on Sunday. But Luka Dončić scored 29 to lead the team, followed by 19 by Dalton Knecht. The two players hit five 3 points from the game.
James pulled 6 out of 17 from the ground, but he hit a big 3 after the Clippers reduced the advance of the Lakers to 93-88 to 7:02 of the fourth quarter. The 3 finished a sequence in which James missed his three previous shots, but the Lakers obtained offensive rebounds each time to give it more chances.

It was his last basket in the match while Dončić and Knecht took control, leaving James to reach his milestone on Tuesday.
James Est The top scorer of all time in the NBA In regular season points with 41,837 points, exceeding Kareem Abdul-Jabbar two years ago for a brand that was held for 39 years. He is also the leader of all time in the Ligue in playoffs with 8,162 points, exceeding Michael Jordan in 2017.
Here is a table of each basket of land that James made in regular season and in playoffs, With the kind authorization of the NBA.
Perhaps more important for James for the moment is that the Lakers have won six consecutive games and 16 of their last 20. At 38-21, they are currently seeded n ° 2 of the western conference behind Oklahoma City Thunder and resemble a competitor of the NBA championship.
However, James will reach an important career achievement along the way, joining his four NBA championships and four MVP prizes, and enjoying a very deserved appreciation for one of the biggest individual races never seen by a player in the history of the NBA.
